Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: receiving audio data from an audio data source; segmenting the audio data into a plurality of audio data segments and transcribing a first one of the audio data segments based on a voice model to generate first text data; making the first text data available to at least one user over an electronic network; receiving second corrected text data that is different than the first text data over the electronic network responsive to making the first text data available to the at least one user over the electronic network; modifying the voice model based on the second corrected text data; in response to modifying the voice model, performing additional transcription based on the modified voice model to generate third text data representing a portion of the received audio data, said portion of the received audio data including audio data of a second audio data segment of the plurality of audio data segments that is different than the first audio data segment.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the audio data from the audio source includes receiving the audio data from a VoIP voicemail server.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the audio data from the audio source includes receiving the audio data from a client computer over the electronic network.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the audio data from the audio source includes receiving the audio data in an e-mail message.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the audio data from the audio source includes requesting the audio data from the audio source.

6

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising prioritizing the audio data.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transcribing the first audio data segment of the audio data based on the voice model to generate the first text data includes transcribing the first audio data segment based on a voice independent model to generate the first text data.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a correction notification to the at least one user or another user.

9

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein sending the correction notification includes sending an e-mail correction notification.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indexing the first text data.

11

11. A memory device having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising: segmenting audio data from an audio source into a plurality of audio data segments and transcribing a first one of the audio data segments based on a voice model to generate first text data; making the first text data available to at least one user over an electronic network; receiving second corrected text data that is different than the first text data over the electronic network responsive to making the first text data available to the at least one user over the electronic network; modifying the voice model based on the second corrected text data; and performing additional transcription based on the modified voice model to generate third text data representing a portion of the received audio data, said portion of the received audio data including audio data of a second audio data segment of the plurality of audio data segments that is different than the first audio segment.

12

12. The memory device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise prioritizing the first audio data segment.

13

13. The memory device of claim 11 , wherein transcribing the first audio data segment based on the voice model to generate the first text data includes transcribing the first audio data segment based on a voice independent model to generate the first text data.

14

14. The memory device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise sending a correction notification to the at least one user or another user.

15

15. The memory device of claim 14 , wherein sending the correction notification includes sending an e-mail correction notification.

16

16. An apparatus, comprising: means for segmenting audio data from an audio source into a plurality of audio data segments; means for transcribing a first one of the audio data segments based on a voice model to generate first text data; means for making the first text data available to a plurality of users over an electronic network; means for modifying the voice model based on second corrected text data that is different from the first text data and received responsive to making the first text data available to the plurality of users over the electronic network; and means for transcribing based on the modified voice model to generate third text data representing a portion of the audio data, said portion of the audio data including audio data of a second audio data segment of the plurality of audio data segments that is different than the first audio data segment.

17

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising means for prioritizing the first audio data segment.

18

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the voice model comprises a voice independent model.

19

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising means for sending a correction notification to at least one user of the plurality of users.

20

20. The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising means for indexing the first text data.
